[Spice-devel] Cherry picking spice/qxl qemu patches for Fedora-17

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

While looking into fixing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810226

I've also been looking at all the qxl/spice patches
from: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/qemu/

And specifically those on the spice.v47 - spice.v51
branches. I quickly decided to just cherry pick
them all into my own qemu-kvm-1.0 branch:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jwrdegoede/qemu/log/?h=qemu-kvm-1.0-usbredir

All but one that is, I've skipped the patch titled:
""qxl: add optinal 64bit vram bar"
As that is causing a quite noticable slow down for me
(see the other mail thread I just started).

Adding these patches to Fedora-17 not only
fixes the mentioned bug, but also gives us:
-some other bugfixes
-no more sync commands anywhere, so no
  more spice stalling qemu
-support for running on a 32 bit host, which
  given that we've been building spice as such
  for a while on Fedora, seems like a good idea

So before I push these patches into the Fedora-17
qemu builds, I was wondering if there are any objections
against me doing so ?

Regards,

Hans
